I have therefore decided to release the full text free on the internet on 12 January 2009. I do hope more people will learn about the truth about Spicer that way, than they would if Schillings had not intervened. I am very much hoping that I will be able to make some copies of an actual book available at the same time. But you should of course be aware that if you read it you will cause Tim Spicer “profound anxiety and distress”, according to Schillings. Possibly less, however, than that caused to the families of those killed by his mercenaries over the years.

Meantime, here is the epilogue to the book. You don’t get the full force of it unless you have read the history of British involvement in Sierra Leone in the book, but you still might find it interesting.

I think you'll have to be careful that people will actually be able to download your book. The last time you published an article about Spicer I wasn't able to make a comment and I tried repeatedly. It seemed obvious to me that access had been deliberately denied. I have a feeling that your knowledge of Sierra Leone married together with that of other people's could be a very sensitive issue for the government.

Well I hope that soem other publisher sees this and steps in, but if not I shall be reading the book on the 12th!

You could also consider offering hardopies via an on-demand printing service like lulu (I'll buy one!). If not then I'd suggest looking at some fo the innovative Creative Commons licences that have become popular for free content.

Sorry, clumsy me. The agreed was with the comment that the racist killer cops who shot Jean Charles should spend time eating her Maj's porridge.

Also would it be possible to do a counter like the Iraq death toll ( horrible ) for those millions who are going to die of western capitalist banker's and traders's greed ? ONE BILLION face daily threat of starvation now !

That letter is hard to take seriously. It's packed with a lot of silly threats, but the answer is, before we take seriously your request that we jump through a lot of hoops, please tell us on what basis you make these bizarre allegations, since you haven'tseen the book yourselves. Is it simply that Ms Spicer knows that it's impossible to say anything good about her and therefore any book which mentions her wil necessarily upset her?
